Indianapolis Man Charged with Stalking Indiana Fever's Sophie Cunningham, Threatening Team Security Executive

What prosecutors allege

Kevin C. Singh, 49, of Indianapolis was charged in Marion Superior Court 26 with stalking, intimidation, and harassment in a case involving Indiana Fever guard Sophie Cunningham, according to court filings reviewed by OutKick and reported by Fox News.

The stalking and intimidation counts are Level 6 felonies under Indiana law. The harassment charge is a Class B misdemeanor. Singh has not been convicted, and the charges remain allegations.

The alleged timeline

Prosecutors say the conduct began September 30, 2025, and continued through June 2, 2026. That is roughly eight months.

The affidavit describes Singh allegedly hand-delivering a package to Gainbridge Fieldhouse on September 30, telling a security guard it was from his daughter and intended for a player. Security cameras captured the interaction, according to the filing. The package contained a Guns N' Roses T-shirt sprayed with men's cologne and a letter addressed to Cunningham, signed with a username tied to Singh's X account.

Pacers Sports & Entertainment security staff subsequently began monitoring that X account. Investigators say it made multiple posts directed at Cunningham, including sexually explicit comments and references to Singh's physical proximity to her. One post stated, "You're literally down the street from me!" Another, according to the affidavit, referenced a building visible in the background of one of Cunningham's social media posts and suggested her building was safe. Phrasing that prosecutors characterize as menacing in context.

The overall course of conduct, prosecutors allege, caused Cunningham to feel "terrorized, frightened, intimidated or threatened."

The threat to the security executive

When John Ball, vice president of security and event services for Pacers Sports & Entertainment, sent Singh a cease-and-desist letter, Singh allegedly responded with a threat rather than compliance. Prosecutors allege Singh communicated a threat to Ball between June 1 and June 11 of this year. That alleged threat forms the basis of the separate intimidation charge.

Targeting the official who tried to stop the contact escalates the legal exposure considerably. It also suggests the cease-and-desist did not work and that the organization had to escalate to law enforcement.

What Singh has not said publicly

No public statement from Singh or his legal counsel appears in the available source material. Before drawing conclusions about motive or character, the affidavit represents one side of the case. Singh is entitled to present a defense. Courts, not probable-cause affidavits, establish guilt.

The strongest good-faith concern a defense attorney might raise: social media posts alone, however strange or unwelcome, do not automatically constitute criminal stalking under Indiana law. The prosecution will need to demonstrate that the conduct met the statutory threshold — a repeated course of conduct that would cause a reasonable person to feel terrorized — and that Singh had the requisite intent. That is a fact question a jury would decide.

The physical delivery to the arena, the cologne-soaked package, the proximity references, and the alleged threat to Ball after a formal cease-and-desist paint a pattern that goes beyond unsolicited fan mail.

The broader context for professional athletes

Stalking cases involving professional athletes are not rare, but they tend to receive less systemic attention when the target is a woman in a league that, until recently, drew limited national coverage. The WNBA's rising profile, accelerated largely by Caitlin Clark's arrival in Indianapolis, has brought new audiences to the Indiana Fever and apparently new risks for players.

Fox News and OutKick are currently the primary outlets with detailed reporting on this case. Neither AP nor ESPN had published comparable coverage in the sources available as of June 24, 2026. A felony stalking charge against someone targeting a professional athlete is newsworthy regardless of which league she plays in.

What happens next

The case is pending in Marion Superior Court 26 in Indianapolis. Singh's arraignment date, bail status, and whether he has retained counsel are not detailed in the available source material. The outcome of that proceeding will determine whether Singh remains free while the case proceeds and will give the public its first look at how he responds to the charges on the record.
